WHY DHIRUBHAI AMBANI

He is the greatest source of inspiration for me.

I admire his philosophy – “Think big, Think differently, Think fast, Think ahead, Aim for the best”

Created business empire within a span of just 25 years.

He dared to dream on a scale unimaginable before in Indian industry.

At the age of 17, Dhirubhai went to Aden and worked for A,Besse & Co Ltd.

MANAGEMENT LESSONS

Though Dhirubhai was not a Management Guru, he gave new management lessons

He gave nine management lessons.

MANAGEMENT LESSONS

1. Roll up your sleeves and Help ‘ Do it yourself ’ He does not wait for infrastructure to be

created to support his operations. He goes out & builds it himself, be it a power plant or a canal.2. Be a safety net for your team. Knowledge that he knew and cared for what his team was going through, and that he was there for them if needed him, worked wonders for confidence.

MANAGEMENT LESSONS

3. The Silent benefactor When helped someone, he never ever breathed a word about it to anyone else. “Expect the unexpected”

4. Dream big, but dream with your eyes open. Whenever a task seemed too big to be accomplished, he would reply, “No, is no answer!”. Not only he dreamed big, he taught all of us to do so.

MANAGEMENT LESSONS

5. Leave the professional alone! “Let professional do the work” this technique enforced responsibility among his team.6. Change your Orbit constantly When you change orbits, you will create friction. The good news is that your enemies from your previous orbit will never be able to reach you up in your new orbit, you should move to the next level. And so on..

MANAGEMENT LESSONS

7. The ‘arm-around-the shoulder’ leader It was Dhirubhai’s very own signature style. Arm around the shoulder- with that one simple gesture he managed to achieve many things and draw people towards

himself.

8. Theory of Supply creating Demand When everyone in India would build capacities only after a careful study of

market. He went full steam ahead and created giants of manufacturing plants with unbelievable capacities.

MANAGEMENT LESSONS

9. Money is not a product by itself, it is a byproduct, so don’t chase it. He did not breathe a word about profits, nor about becoming the richest. A byproduct is something that you don’t set out to produce. It is the spin off when you create something larger.
